Do you clean ears? So we went to the vet today, just for regular vaccinations....or so I thought..... Now they tell me that she has an ear infection because when she put a q tip, there was a TINY bit of wax substance. She has not been shaking her head or anything at all and doesnt mind if I touch them so I know that they do not hurt....Im not all that convinced that it is an actually infections, but of course we bought that drops and oral antibiotics for 2 weeks. She told me that I have to start putting in this ear drying solution atleast once a week. Does anyone do this? I hate giving her all these extra chemicals, if anything something like vinegar might dry as well. Thank you! |
I use an ear cleaner with a drying agent every time I give baths. Last year both of mine had yeast infections in their ears from being moisture being trapped in the ears. My vet told me what to use, and this year when we went in for yearly exams he said he had never seen ears as clean as theirs:p |
I am brand new to this group, but am loving all of the helpful tips. my breeder told me to put liquid polysporin in my dog's ears before I bathe her. She is 8 months old and had 8 teeth extracted yesterday and was spade. Any help is much appreciated. |
Yes, I use the ear cleaner once a week right before bath time. Sophia had an ear infection when she was a puppy...they can get pretty nasty. Looks like yours was caught early by your vet. That is a great thing! :thumbup: |
Yes, I do, too. I like to clean Tatiana ears after bath time (once a week). I dry out her ears with cotton balls, and clean them with cleaning solution. Also, every two weeks, I administer an additional ear treatment that kills ear mites. I do this as a preventative. |
I use the ear cleaner after baths! |
What ear cleaners do y'all usually use? Is it bad to bathe my yorkies once a week during the winter? I did during summer months but it is unusually cold here in Texas 20s-40s and even though I blow dry them I am still nervous about weekly bathing schedule. Thanks |

As far as the weekly baths, I've been doing it during the colder seasons with no problems. Like you, I blow-dry Tatiana. |
I clean Callie's once a week after a bath with a cleaner the vet gave me that is supposed to dry out any liquid that got in there like water from the bath. I think it pretty important to do as well as plucking the ear out of there ears which can also hold on to moisture. |
Did your vet do the vaccines or opt to wait the two weeks? |

Yes, I try to remember to use a drying solution after baths and at least once a week (the girl is prone to yeast infections). However, I usually forget... Vinegar mixtures can be used in some cases. That's really up to you and your vet. I prefer chemicals. Would absolutely hate for my pups to smell like vinegar. And if they are at all irritated in there, I would think a cleaner designed for the ears would be less irritating. |

Exactly which vaccines did she get and how old is she? |
And how much does she weigh? |
